Did you change out the top tree...or does Loner Industries make a riser adapter for the tree with the bottom clamp built into it?

Holy that clutch lever must be a b!tch to pull in!

Also looks like your fork tubes are set at different heights? Wanna make sure they're the same.... If I recall, factory specs is: top of the fork cap should be around 10-13mm above the top tree.

Bike looks good though, I'm in Fort Sask... I also have my 48 in pieces, gotta love winter mods!

It's really nice right now but we'll see how my hand feels after a full day out haha, and **** your right thanks man ill check that out tomorrow. Weird cause ive never touched the forks...

Yeah sure would be nice to have somewhere warm to wrench, but winters awesome for mods, especially when it's like 7 months long

No I didn't change the top tree. The risers are shaped to fit with the stock trees,and I was unsuccessful in finding the right length bolt to work. So temp fix was to use the tape and zip tie. Still trying to figure out a solution. But for now it works.

The 48's came from factory with the turn signals bolted to the upper tree... I see your's are bolted to the lower. Someone at some point would of had to unbolt the fork pinch bolts to switch them around.

Make sure those pinch polts are torqued to spec as well, If I recall they should be around 30-35 ft-lbs.

Cool. Thank you for the info. I will check out the loner industries riser, we get people asking about that regularly.

Let me know what length bolts you need, I'll get some and send them your way.
